Bug 207976

Summary:	XMLSerializer should convert HTML entities to the correct code point
Product:	WebKit	Reporter:	Marcos Caceres <marcos>
Component:	DOM	Assignee:	Nobody <webkit-unassigned>
Status:	RESOLVED CONFIGURATION CHANGED
Severity:	Normal	CC:	ahmad.saleem792, ap, bfulgham, cdumez, ddkilzer, rniwa, webkit-bug-importer

Description Marcos Caceres 2020-02-19 17:10:30 PST

Steps to reproduce:

Open https://codepen.io/SaschaNaz/pen/zYGKvOQ

Expected:
Serializing &nbsp; should result in the equivalent of nbsp code point in the output. See Chrome and Firefox, which replace the &nbsp; for the correct code point (otherwise, exported XML becomes invalid). 

Actual:

The serializer spits out from Safari:

<p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" id="nbsp">&nbsp;</p>

Lates results from all browsers:

*** Safari 15.6 on macOS 12.5 ***

<p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" id="nbsp"> </p>

*** Firefox Nightly 150 *** 

<p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" id="nbsp"> </p>

*** Chrome Canary 106 ***

<p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" id="nbsp"> </p>

All browsers are rendering same so it is something fixed along the way, I am going to mark this as "RESOLVED CONFIGURATION CHANGED". Thanks!

Please reopen, if it is not believed to be fixed. Thanks!
